New system - go for 9.1+upgrade - or go for 9.2-RC4?
Hi, Since I'm about to set up a new system from scratch I'm thinking whether I should install 9.1 and upgrade it to 9-STABLE or to install 9.2-RC4 right away. To be specific: o) Will upgrading kernel/system using svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/ /usr/src bring a 9.2-RC4 installed system up to date once 9.2 final is released? o) Is it possible to install ports using portsnap fetch extract and pkg_add -r... on a system that was installed using the 9.2-RC4-CDs? Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Two options: base/stable/9 - track 9-STABLE base/releng/9.2 - track 9.2-security branch The former is more of a moving target, while the latter is 9.2-RELEASE, but gets security updates. Also, rather than using svn://, I'd use https://, and pick a server from this list: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn-mirrors.html Terje ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
